"A debate beyond ideology", you say? Please accept this communication - made in good faith - as an open offer to debate the rigour and substance of your @ICPConnect article with me in any forum, Matt. ASEPA Conference 2026??? 😉
Inclusion ≠ placement. 
Matt Johnson calls out the inclusion illusion: closing schools doesn’t create equity. Real inclusion invests in teachers, safe settings & parental choice. Read more in ICP Magazine (Sept 2025): icponline.org/icp-magazine-s…

This article articulates the cost to support 19,000 South Australians and their families, but it doesn't consider the cost of NOT supporting them - a cost we're likely paying now. The framing of the NDIS as funding hoarders is also yuck. indaily.co/433432 via @indaily

Our @Elgar Research Handbook on Disability Policy is out in the world! Two years of hard work by 70 authors. The book interweaves personal narratives from disabled people with academic chapters which provide important insights into how policy affects human rights. @KarenRFisher

Thanks to Educators SA for a lovely ceremony during Volunteers' Week. It was a treat seeing past AASE SA Secretary National Councillor, Ruth Evans, acknowledged for her incredible history of volunteerism.
